FUTURE OF THE LEFT
"Always angry. Always loud. Always spikey. Always proud." NME
"Three albums in and they're still as bonkers and thrilling as ever" Artrocker's Album Of The Month
"... A relentlessly insistent, unexpectedly danceable record which manages to be as engaging as it is wilfully bizarre." Rocksound8/10Future Of The Left are pleased to announce that their new single 'i am the least of your problems' is to be released on 25th June 2012 through Xtra Mile Recordings.
It is the second (digital) single to be taken from the Welsh rockers' forthcoming album 'the plot against common sense' and would be the perfect soundtrack to a car advert or video game if you can ignore what the silly man is shouting about. It was recorded in about twenty minutes and live is played so fast that it sometimes finishes just before it begins, making it the first commercially available rock song to partially reverse the aging process.
'the plot against common sense' is released on 11th June 2012 through Xtra Mile Recordings in the UK and Europe and on 12th June in North America through Xtra Mile/ILG.
Constituting 49.8 minutes of singing, shouting, slinking, smashing and (at times) sobbing, the album is the best thing the band have put their name to in this or any other dimension, a fact which is not open to debate.
Recent single 'sheena is a t-shirt salesman' was blasted out across the airways, played and championed by Radio 1's Daniel P Carter, Huw Stephens as well as XFM, 6Music and Kerrang! Radio.

Future of the Left

History

Beginnings

Future of the Left formed in mid-2005 after the bands Mclusky and Jarcrew both split up within two months of each other at the beginning of the year. The new group was formed by singer/guitarist Andy "Falco" Falkous and drummer Jack Egglestone, both previously of Mclusky, alongside singer/bassist Kelson Mathias and bassist Hywel Evans, both formerly of Jarcrew. Evans quickly moved on to start a math rock band, Truckers of Husk.

First performances

Future of the Left's first performances were secret gigs using aliases such as "Guerilla Press" and "Dead Redneck" to avoid the concert being attended by large numbers of expectant Mclusky and Jarcrew fans. Their very first show was at Clwb Ifor Bach, Cardiff on 2 July 2006, under the alias "the Mooks of Passim." The first official headline show (and the first show the band played under the name Future of the Left) was played in CamdenBarfly to a capacity crowd on 1 September 2006.

Future

The future is what will happen in the time after the present. Its arrival is considered inevitable due to the existence of time and the laws of physics. Due to the apparent nature of reality and the unavoidability of the future, everything that currently exists and will exist can be categorized as either permanent, meaning that it will exist forever, or temporary, meaning that it will end. The future and the concept of eternity have been major subjects of philosophy, religion, and science, and defining them non-controversially has consistently eluded the greatest of minds. In the Occidental view, which uses a linear conception of time, the future is the portion of the projected time line that is anticipated to occur. In special relativity, the future is considered absolute future, or the future light cone.

The Left, the Right, and the Future of the West

As recently as the Cold War, the center-right and the center-left overcame their differences on other issues to oppose the enemies of the open society. In a lecture to alumni and guests of the Tikvah Fund, Standpoint editor Daniel Johnson argues that the center is failing to hold and that illiberalism's many forms are on the rise. Both right and left have been submerged under populist spasms. The right lured in by the coarse, idea-free spectacle of Donald Trump; the left embracing the Western self-loathing typified by Jeremy Corbyn. Radical Islam, the European migrant crisis, and the rise of Putin's Russia all threaten the West. Are conservatives up to the task? And what is the role of the Jews in all this? Johnson argues that Israel is uniquely central to the fate of the West, both as the...

The Mzala Nxumalo Centre for the Study of South African society hosted a conference on the Future of the Left in Durban from the 8th to the 10th of June 2017. The main purpose of the conference was to consider the state of the political Left and to discuss ways of strengthening it. While the conference examined the global context, focus was on South Africa. The conference interrogated this question in the context of imperialism and ‘fluid’ capital that morphs and reshapes and results in an unequal world.
The sub – themes addressed by speakers included aspects of capitalism in the neoliberal era, responses to neoliberalism by Right wing populisms and the role of the Left. The challenges of social and econ...

As recently as the Cold War, the center-right and the center-left overcame their differences on other issues to oppose the enemies of the open society. In a lecture to alumni and guests of the Tikvah Fund, Standpoint editor Daniel Johnson argues that the center is failing to hold and that illiberalism's many forms are on the rise. Both right and left have been submerged under populist spasms. The right lured in by the coarse, idea-free spectacle of Donald Trump; the left embracing the Western self-loathing typified by Jeremy Corbyn. Radical Islam, the European migrant crisis, and the rise of Putin's Russia all threaten the West. Are conservatives up to the task? And what is the role of the Jews in all this? Johnson argues that Israel is uniquely central to the fate of the West, both as the frontier of its fights and as a symbol of what the West still stands for—or what, to its shame, it may yet abandon.
William Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard offers some thoughts on Johnson's lecture at its conclusion. Then the two take questions. The discussion was filmed in Jerusalem on June 2, 2016.

New Future of the Left! guitar pedals and the “that” pedal, Brexit and losing the moral high ground, Doing it lots and know there are ups and downs, dabbling in other art forms, liking “the good bands”, song titles, mclusky incursions, money for worthy causes and paying with cred, relocating to London, Bob Marley-implied welshman, lineup shifts, Twin Peaks (So good or no good?), nuance and guileless bord...

The Left, the Right, and the Future of the West

As recently as the Cold War, the center-right and the center-left overcame their differences on other issues to oppose the enemies of the open society. In a lecture to alumni and guests of the Tikvah Fund, Standpoint editor Daniel Johnson argues that the center is failing to hold and that illiberalism's many forms are on the rise. Both right and left have been submerged under populist spasms. The right lured in by the coarse, idea-free spectacle of Donald Trump; the left embracing the Western self-loathing typified by Jeremy Corbyn. Radical Islam, the European migrant crisis, and the rise of Putin's Russia all threaten the West. Are conservatives up to the task? And what is the role of the Jews in all this? Johnson argues that Israel is uniquely central to the fate of the West, both as the...

Opening Welcome - The Future of the Left : South Africa in a Global Context

The Future of the Left : South Africa in a global context conference. OpeningWelcome. The Mzala Nxumalo Centre for the Study of South African society hosted a conference on the Future of the Left in Durban from the 8th to the 10th of June 2017. The main purpose of the conference was to consider the state of the political Left and to discuss ways of strengthening it. While the conference examined the global context, focus was on South Africa. The conference interrogated this question in the context of imperialism and ‘fluid’ capital that morphs and reshapes and results in an unequal world.
The sub – themes addressed by speakers included aspects of capitalism in the neoliberal era, responses to neoliberalism by Right wing populisms and the role of the Left. The challenges of social and econ...

As recently as the Cold War, the center-right and the center-left overcame their differences on other issues to oppose the enemies of the open society. In a lecture to alumni and guests of the Tikvah Fund, Standpoint editor Daniel Johnson argues that the center is failing to hold and that illiberalism's many forms are on the rise.

The right lured in by the coarse, idea-free spectacle of Donald Trump; the left embracing the Western self-loathing typified by Jeremy Corbyn. Radical Islam, the European migrant crisis, and the rise of Putin's Russia all threaten the West. Are conservatives up to the task? And what is the role of the Jews in all this? Johnson argues that Israel is uniquely central to the fate of the West, both as the frontier of its fights and as a symbol of what the West still stands for—or what, to its shame, it may yet abandon.
William Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard offers some thoughts on Johnson's lecture at its conclusion. Then the two take questions. The discussion was filmed in Jerusalem on June 2, 2016.
